I agree with you however, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, hence we have problems!

It's near to impossible to believe something like that and still be a Catholic. The revelation to us of the second Person as Logos assures us that beauty, subtlety, economy, order, and reason are all godly attributes. Hence their absolute qualities. When God created the world and saw that it was good, he wasn't expressing some arbitrary, idiosyncratic opinion.

The unreflective acceptance and canting repetition of such sentiments as "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is an assertion of radical relativism. It's a reflection of the fallen, alienated world in which we live and is about as far as you can get from the redemption, in which all things are made right in Christ.
